I am running version 2.3.15. I have MCEBuddy processing all of my .WTV files using the .WTV unprocessed profile to remove commercials using Comskip. I then watch the .WTV files on my Linksys DMA2100 Media Center Extender.
Most of the time, this works fine. However, occasionally, the video will not play back properly. It will freeze for 3 or 4 seconds, play for 3 or 4 seconds, freeze for 3 or 4 seconds, and so on. Sometimes, I get the "Network Issue" warning from Media Center. If I try to play the original .WTV file (untouched by MCEBuddy), it plays fine.
Also - there appears to be an issue with the skip ahead and skip back functionality - particularly as you approach the end of the show. It's as if the player is doing some sort of math against the original length of the program and not the shortened, commercials removed format.

I will try converting some shows with the WTV profile and report back. As the problem is intermittent, this may take a while.
In general, do you recommend using WTV over WTV unprocessed?
